NEILSON BEACH ACTIVE
Julie and her husband and two children aged
7 and 11 years set off on our first Neilson Active Holiday
wondering what we were letting ourselves in for. We loved
it and are all converts now ! We based ourselves in Sivota,
Greece in one of Neilson's Beachplus Clubs, The Retreat, where
we dabbled in windsurfing, etc Pilates classes, and of course,
a bit lazing by the pool. The children met some lovely friends
and did virtually he same activities we would do too, along
with some pizza making and arts and crafts to keep them cool
out of the sun. All the activities and, more importantly,
the tuition are included in the cost of your holiday along
with excellent childcare. You can also achieve a Royal Yachting
Association (RYA) qualification in sailing and windsurfing
and a British Canoeing Union (BCU) qualification in Kayaking,
again included in the price of your holiday. The Retreat Hotel
is set in a beautiful bay and an ideal setting to learn those
new watersports. Food is plentiful and good with daily breakfast
and lunch and four evening meals included, giving you the
option to venture out to the village and sample the local
restaurants. Julie's big decision now is which Neilson resort
to go to next ! Email Julie@kmtravel.co.uk |
